The 2013 Leadership Stockton class has chosen Stockton Shelter for the Homeless and the Gospel Rescue Mission for upgrading.

The Stockton Shelter for the Homeless project includes completely redecorating, painting and installing new flooring in two rooms. Class members will also be participating in activities with the families, in particular the children living at the Shelter.

The Gospel Rescue Mission project includes installing new flooring in the common area and dining hall of the facility.

The group held a fundraiser Dec. 1, a "Strike Out Homelessness" bowling tournament. The event was sponsored by F&M Bank and ServiceMaster Clean and raised $14,000 for their projects.

Founded in 1981, Leadership Stockton is California's oldest adult community leadership program. Leadership Stockton is a program designed to inspire a new generation of men and women ready to assume leadership roles in our community. It challenges and prepares individuals form diverse backgrounds to be influential in our region's future.
